In this Episode, I interview special guest, Linda Kozar. She is a multi-award-winning, multi-published author of traditional and indie-published fiction and nonfiction books infused with a southern charm. She lives with her husband, Michael, in The Woodlands, Texas with her playful Jack Russell terrier, Gypsy. In our heartfelt conversation, Linda shares her profoundly inspiring “Sweet Tea and Thee” God Story about her faith journey that led her to her career as an author, and to write her latest devotional, “Sweet Tea and Thee”, a devotional that shares how to refresh your soul, fortify your hope, nurture your faith, and to treasure God’s truth in your heart. She also shares her personal testimony and how God instantly delivered her from cigarette addiction, other burdens and gave her a passion for sharing his love and scripture with others.
This episode also includes a mental health tip from ministry partner and licensed mental health counselor, Sherrie Pucket.

In This Episode:
- Linda Kozar is a multi-award-winning, multi-published author of traditional and indie-published fiction and nonfiction books infused with a southern charm.
- She works very hard to make every devotion count and really make a difference.
- We have stories to tell. If you are listening to the Lord, you are going to go places, do things, and help people. It is going to be an incredible journey.
- Our stories are our testimonies, and our testimonies are powerful.
- Linda shares their “Sweet Tea and Thee” God story.
- She was raised Catholic. Her brother was saved, and he continued to witness to them. They went to the church he was going to, and Linda left feeling radically different. Now her brother pastors a church, and everyone in her family has given their lives to the Lord.
- Everybody has gifts. The enemy wants to discourage you from exploring your gifts.
- Her first book was published in 2008.
- The end times are the times of the sheep and the goats. The divide between believers and nonbelievers has become huge, and it is only going to get worse in the end times. Now it is more important than ever to share the Gospel because we don’t want anybody to get lost.
- You are being used by God even if you don’t realize it, and what you are doing right now is important.
- God is the sweetness in our lives. We are sweet with his sweetness.
- She takes time to write every day. Life doesn’t always get in the way of your writing. Sometimes it is a part of the process.
